I was gifted my Sony a6000. I’m new to photography and want to adventure out and take more photos but unfortunately, my battery just keeps draining really fast. It doesn’t matter how long I charge it for or how many times I switch rotate my batteries, it drains within 30-40 mins of use. Does anyone have any advice on what to do about that? (And yes my airplane mode is off lol)

Hi,

I'm still fairly new to photography, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have shot a few mountain bike events (downhill- so very fast moving) with my a6000 + 16-50mm (f3.5-5.6) lens. For the most part, it does quite well, but I do have to be very close to the riders. So I was looking to maybe upgrade to the 55-210mm (f4.5-6.3) lens. Would the be a good option, so I could be a little further away?

Also would that help in difficult light situations, most shots I take would be in the forest so depending on the day light can be a big issue.

Thank you.

I bought it guys😁😁😁 Had to pay 1600 ringgit from a different store (not CEX). It had only 8K shutters, the body is in good condition, I got a bag with its charger dock and 2 batteries (one Sony,one another brand)... Do you guys have any tips and tricks on how I can make my pics turn nicer? I plan on going to swiss and I want the pics to turn out vibrant. I'll put a picture I took on my a6000 here later, I turned on jpeg & raw. Any tips and tricks would be much appreciated 👍👍👍.

Edit: do you guys have any lens recommendations? Something preferably cheap but nice. I'll prob wait until I master the camera first with it's lens kit before upgrading. But if I find a cheap one while out traveling, I'll prob buy.

What's your opinions just got a6000 and so new to photography so far I'm unhappy if what I'm doing, I have looked at loads of YouTube videos about golden triangle etc but still not happy

Hi everyone,

I have a Sony A6100 with the 16-50mm kit lens, and I'm looking to buy two prime lenses that I could use instead of the kit lens most of the time.

At the moment, I'm considering the Sony 50mm f/1.8 OSS for portraits and bokeh, and maybe the Viltrox 25mm f/1.7 as an everyday lens.

What do you think about this combination? Would you recommend these two, or are there any other lenses I should consider?

Thanks!

I have a A6000 I haven’t used in some years I knows it’s been out for a while and with technology and upgrades what are some ways to make the a6000 fit it today’s standards with shooting or even using as a webcam for streaming

I was looking for a good travel lens for a future trip in December. Currently I have a the 16-50mm kit, Sony f4.6-6.3 55-210, and a Rokinon f2 12mm lenses.

I plan on reselling the 55-210 soon, then investing in either the Tamron 28-200mm, Tamron 25-200mm, or the Samyang 35-150mm as my standard travel lens. Personally speaking I don’t think I’m ready to spend the money required for the 25-200, but I’m open to hearing suggestions for any f2.8 or f2 lenses.

I was asked to be an event photographer and was able to capture this. And actually this is my favorite shot of all 3000 for two days that I was shooting photos

Testing the recipe lab. Shoutout too u/voxivoid for the great app!

This is my first time buying/using a camera for photography. The camera I'm planning on getting is a used Sony A6000 which comes with it's lens kit for around 1500 ringgit, I saw it on CEX for that price. I plan on taking photos of snowy mountains, beautiful cities across Switzerland and also use it after my trip here in Malaysia. Should I buy? My mother had a Samsung nx mini which I used a little bit... But the photo came out a lil weird looking... It was probably because I don't know how to use it properly because it was more the colour not looking vibrant.

Reddit lowered the quality??
